We are proud to announce that Maharashtra celebrated the AFC Grassroots Day by conducting festivals throughout the state in a grand and befitting manner. This is the 3rd consecutive year that the AFC Grassroots Football day is being celebrated in our state.

This year WIFA notched it up by conducting 5 Grassroots leaders courses and trained and educated 142 Grassroots Leaders across Maharashtra. WIFA in partnership with its districts and affiliated clubs organized these Grassroots Leaders courses in Thane, Nagpur and Pune, whilst the Professional clubs Mumbai City FC, Mumbai FC and Pune FC helped in organizing the courses in their respective cities. Maharashtra now has a whopping 350+ Grassroots Leaders in the state, educated and equipped to deliver quality training at the Grassroots Level.

In addition to these courses, WIFA Grassroots leaders also conducted 27 Grassroots festivals across various centres in Maharashtra and over 2300 players participated.

WIFA is thankful and grateful to AIFF for all their guidance, support and help in conducting all these activities. WIFA will continue to fuel in funds for sustained growth in the field of Grassroots which will ultimately help in improving footballing standards of our country.
